Protect the People You Love

Welcome To
Crisafulli Estate Planning & Elder Law, P.C. Law Firm

Comprehensive Planning to Protect Your Loved Ones, Assets, and Legacy

At Crisafulli Estate Planning & Elder Law, P.C., we focus on estate planning, elder law, asset protection, and closely related practice areas. This involves helping our clients find answers to tough questions, the kind that keep them up at night, such as:

If my spouse or I need nursing home care, how will we pay for it? Can we get help from Medicaid?
How can I protect my assets, and those I leave to my children, against creditors, taxes, divorce, and other potential threats?
How can I ensure that people of my choosing will have the authority to make financial and medical decisions for me if I become disabled?
How can I ensure my assets will go to the people I want to receive them after I pass away?
How can I make sure my child with special needs will receive quality care when I can no longer provide it myself?
What is involved in settling my mom or dad’s estate? How do I administer their trust?

If you are concerned about issues like these, we can help you find solutions—and the peace of mind that comes from having a thoughtful plan in place for the future.

We invite you to explore this site to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how we can help you protect the people you love and the assets you own. Better yet, why not attend one of our complimentary educational workshops—either live or remote—or contact us to schedule a consultation? We welcome the opportunity to meet you in person. Let’s talk soon.

What Clients
are Saying

We learned about Crisafulli Estate Planning and Elder Law through advertising on WRVO’s National Public Radio station in Oswego. We learned about the 3-5 minute podcasts on key legal issues which we needed to address. The podcasts made the task of finding a new lawyer, making a new will, and easing worries on our family when we are gone more approachable. All of the staff work as a close team and see their role as teachers and coaches, helping you to make legal choices that fit with your lifetime values. We cannot say enough good about how they help you to understand the law and make this major necessity in life an approachable and human process. Thank you!

I must say that I so appreciate this professional and kind and caring Law Firm- everything was covered and explained to me. And…loved the rescue dogs.

Eileen R.

I am so grateful to the Crisafulli Law Firm for everything they did in our emergency time of need. I could not be happier with the speed, efficiency, professionalism, and empathy that I saw from Tim Crisafulli and his two paralegals, Emily and Siobhan. Everything fell into place after they got me the POA I needed, at just the right time, so we could secure a place for him with Hospice, just two days before my loved one passed away. No one knew it was coming that fast, but Thank God for this law firm’s speed and efficiency. I will never make another bad lawyer joke as long as I live!! Tim Crisafulli and his staff are awesome, and give lawyers a good name again. Thank you from my heart. We couldn’t have helped our loved one with the loving care we did, without your assistance!

Kathy V.

The staff was helpful and friendly, and Tim Crisafulli was very professional, yet also warm and understanding. Not being aware of all the legal issues, he made things clear and understandable on my level.

Maureen M.

We know many attorneys but there was only one with whom we wanted to work: Tim Crisafulli. Because we have known him for many years, we knew that he was very smart, that we share the same core values, and that he would do his best to help us through this process.

Daryll W.

Tim and his staff have great integrity and it has been a privilege to have him work with my family and I over the course of the last 2 ½ years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The office staff has always been professional, a great valuable resource, and truly knowledgeable. They don’t piecemeal their costs so we knew upfront what we would be spending. Lastly, every document finalized is available to us both electronically and in paper.
I would recommend their services to anyone needing elder care legal expertise.
